So you're telling me the party of apocalyptic-minded godless lunatics set a fire to purge the world?
A 29-year-old Biden-supporting Uber driver obsessed with dystopian imagery, "despair and bitterness" is charged with "maliciously" sparking the Palisades Fire, authorities said Wednesday -- nine months after the most destructive wildfire in Los Angeles history erupted.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of setting a brush fire Jan. 1 that was put out, but then smoldered unnoticed underground for days before igniting the raging Palisades inferno, which left 12 people dead and caused about $150 billion in damages.
The Palisades blaze, which was sparked by the Lachman Fire, went on to level more than 6,000 homes and buildings in the wealthy coastal enclave.
Rinderknecht, who lived in the area at some point, allegedly ignited the flames near a popular hiking trail in the hillside of a state park overlooking the neighborhood at about 12:12 a.m. on New Year's Day -- just moments after dropping off his Uber passengers.
The passengers later recalled Rinderknecht appearing "agitated and angry," the feds said.
After arriving at the hiking trail, Rinderknecht allegedly filmed the scene on his phone and listened to the rap song "Un Zder, Un The," by French artist Josman, whose music video features him setting a series of blazes, the criminal complaint states.
Google records showed that Rinderknecht, born in France, had listened to the song nine times and watched the music video four times in the days leading up to the fire, according to court papers.
...
Rinderknecht is believed to have watched his fire burn for about a minute before fleeing down the hiking trail, where he made a three-minute video recording of himself attempting to call 911 several times to report the blaze.
As he was on the phone to dispatchers, he typed "Are you at fault if a fire is lift [sic] because of your cigarettes" into ChatGPT -- which was also captured in the screen recording, the complaint charges.
Rinderknecht allegedly drove away from the scene but turned around to follow the responding fire trucks back to the scene -- where he then watched and recorded several videos as crews battled the inferno, according to the complaint.
"Based on my training and experience, arsonists sometimes call 911 to report the fires they have set, and arsonists sometimes like to watch firefighters respond to the fires that they have set," an investigator notes in the charging docs.
The videos were among a trove of evidence discovered on Rinderknecht's phone in the aftermath of the wildfire, authorities said.
Months before the blaze, in July, Rinderknecht had ChatGPT-generated a grim "dystopian" image of a burning city, according to the criminal complaint.
His mentally-ill AI slop "art" looks like what gender-confused retarded demon would paint on the side of his child abduction van.
Take a guess what he looks like.
Did you guess something like this?
Apart from him having a hair color that appears in nature, I personally nailed it. How about you?
...
Months later, in November, Rinderknecht told ChatGPT that he had "literally burnt" a Bible -- boasting that he felt "amazing" and "so liberated" afterwards.
...
Rinderknecht was interviewed by investigators shortly after the blaze but allegedly lied to investigators at the time about his location, according to the complaint.
During the Jan. 24 interview, Rinderknecht had told investigators where the fire began, which was information that hadn't yet been made public and that he wouldn't have known if he hadn't witnessed it, the complaint said.
He allegedly lied about his location, claiming he was near the bottom of the hiking trail at the time, the feds said.
During the interview, Rinderknecht's "carotid artery would pulsate and become visible" whenever he was asked about the fire -- indicating he was "extremely anxious," the docs state.
The accused arsonist also confessed to bringing a lighter up the trail -- and investigators later found a green BBQ-style lighter in his car's glove compartment that matched photos taken at his home just days earlier, authorities alleged.
While one Democrat burns down thousands of home to cleanse the earth of the disease of humanity, the Democrat political establishment capitalizes on that calamity, slow-rolling rebuilding permits so people will give up their homes and let them return to nature.
Also in California: Katie Porter, who is one of the most unfortunate-looking women I've ever laid eyes on, also has the reputation of being a beast and a bully to her staff. Her husband alleged that she physically and verbally abused him.
She is running to replace Gavin Newsom as California Crime Boss.
She was asked a very simple question that this reporter asks every Democrat candidate for governor: How will you appeal to the 40% of Californians who voted for Trump?
This physically-heinous woman is also a political extremist, and took offense at the idea that she would ever have to appeal to Trump voters for any reason. She derailed the interview and wound up doing a walk-off where she actually kept her fat ass glued to the chair.
What's her reason for the rage-quit? She complains that the reporter has "seven follow-up" questions for every question. She says she's "never had to do this before," that is, she's literally never had a reporter ask her follow-up questions, pushing past her first answer to try to elicit a true answer.
I believe her. No Democrats ever face follow-up questions. The left-wing media doesn't ask them, and they refuse to be interviewed by anyone who's not in the left-wing media.
